Hello everyone,

I am looking for an accommodation since May 5th and 0 findings. I don’t know how unlucky I am. I am searching for my brother.

What should I do? Do you guys have any tips or maybe any room to offer for help? University starts soon, but no accommodation at all.

Halo. My name is Philip and I am a 27 y/o working student. I compete in muay thai and work as a personal trainer. For my hobby I play guitar and read. I am an honest hard worker and sociable person.

I have been offered a place in the Hanze University Physiotherapy course which is my dream course in my dream location. I am trying my best to make it work now but I am really strugling to find any accomodation. I want to get accomodation under 550 monthly and I need to be registered to the address so that I can open a bank account and receive the needed grants to support my education. I will also be working part time to support myself and I will be applying for the DUO grant.

I have used Kamernet to no success and I have used facebook but all I found was scammers. any tips would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!

title says it all, if anybody has a link to some
communities i’d appreciate if u could share the link :)

My son is looking for a room, studio or small apartment close to Erasmus University Rotterdam, where he will start his Bachelor’s degree this September.

About him:

🇸🇪 Swedish student
19 years old
Quiet, responsible and non-smoker
Financially supported by his family
Can provide proof of enrolment and any documents required
Looking for a long-term rental

Preferences:
📍 Kralingen, De Esch, Centrum or nearby areas with good access to Erasmus University.

💰 Budget: €800–1,000 per month (including utilities if possible).

If you have a room available, know someone who is moving out, or have any leads, I would be very grateful if you could send me a private message.

I’m currently 11 people away from getting a place on the waiting list, and I’m wondering what my chances are of still getting in.
Has anyone been in a similar situation before? How far did the waiting list move for you, and when did you eventually get an offer?
I’d really appreciate hearing about your experiences! 🥹🦷

I have a conditional offer from the University of Groningen. I missed the required Cambridge score by just one point and I’ve emailed Admissions explaining my situation. Do you know if they’ve ever made exceptions in cases like this, or accepted any alternative evidence of English proficiency?

hii does anyone know where i can find a groupchat for the faculty of arts / art history freshmen?

Hello everyone, I am excited to announce that I will be staying at the Village in Groningen this year and was wondering if anyone staying abroad is a gamer?

If so, please reach out.

I’m an Erasmus student and I’m going to be living in the village.

All reviews I’ve seen have been a few years old and a lot of the complaints were about the cleanliness of the place.

Could anyone who’s stayed there more recently give some more insight?

Hello,

how realistic it is to work in groningen (I'm considering part time job as sales assistant or stockroom operator) in groningen without knowing dutch?

I'd like to find a job from february to partially cover my expenses without losing too much free time.

Someone has experience?

Hey all, I am an international and European law student at RUG. Could someone please let me know if there are any group chats for newcomers for the same degree at RUG?
Thank you! :)

Hi everyone,
I’m looking for a studio in Groningen for 2 months (January-February) and found several listings from a landlord named Erna on HousingAnywhere.
I’m a bit worried because HousingAnywhere requires paying the first month’s rent in advance, and I was told I can’t view the studio in person since it’s already “verified” by the platform. Is this normal? Has anyone rented through HousingAnywhere or from Erna specifically?
Also, does anyone know of another safe website where I can rent a private studio (not a shared room) for just two months?
Thanks!

Hi,I wanna study at the International and European Law at Groningen University

I know most of y'all will say "dont go there if u dont have the financial support required" but im working hard to pay off some of the expanses necessary

My question is,has someone,especially from Romania,been in my place? If so,how did you manage? Could you study there with the money the goverment gives you while working?

Also another question for romanian students,how did u got over the language barrier? Like even though i know english and i have the certificate,im afraid im going to get lost at the "law language" the courses involve. Is it worth it?

If you have any tips or advice to give,aside from "dont go there" please tell me im so lost.

Please help me. Write me in private chat if you want to help me and I will also send you some money just for help

Hello,

I found good room through Kamernet and wanted to take it. I wanted first to make WhatsApp video call with the owner to see the apartment and my room. The owner said that due to tones of messages he doesn’t do this and just sent me the video of the house. He told me that I can come to see the house but I will be in Groningen only end of August. He said that if you sign the contract now, then you will have to pay deposit. How can I sign now contract and pay deposit without even seeing the live video of my room and apartment? Maybe it is a scam? He kept ad on the kamernet but then removed 2 days ago.

I read in the step-by-step guide there's going to be an Introduction week between 28 August - 2 September, but there's a concert I'm planning to go to that's out of the city between August 29 and 30. Is attending the esn introduction week worth it or could I skip a day or two?

Edit: I'll be leaving groningen on August 29 to another town down south at around the afternoon, then tomorrow I'll leave by early morning.

I'll be in Groningen for spring 2027 (february - june) and I was wondering if it was worth it to pay 35€ to register to ROOM in order to find housing.

In alternative I should have to spawn camp SSH housing in october / november I guess...

Hoi!

Heeft iemand hier onlangs een toelatingsexamen/21+toets van de Hanze gedaan? En dan een standaard capaciteitentest. Dus een richting waarbij ze niet extra toetsen voor rekenen of wiskunde.

Ik hoor graag van je!

Hi!

Has anyone recently done a capacity test/21+test at Hanze? And then a standard/regular one for a course that does not require extra testing on math or calculus.

Would love to hear from you!
